Timefold in the Wild Ep. 2 | Inside PIPA: Pigeon breeding optimization

Planning problems are everywhere. Even in places you’d never expect, like pigeon breeding. 🐦 Welcome to Timefold in the Wild, Episode 2, where we visit Pigeon Paradise's CIO Erwin De Vylder to see how Timefold helps optimize one of the most unique planning challenges: racing pigeon breeding. Before Timefold, PIPA relied on massive Excel sheets to manage thousands of pigeons, breeding pairs, and client requests. But Excel quickly became unmanageable: Stallion breeding, foster parents, and strict timelines made scheduling a nightmare. That’s where Timefold came in. With AI-powered planning and optimization, PiPa can now: ✅ Automate complex pigeon breeding schedules ✅ Save weeks of manual planning time every year ✅ Adapt instantly to changes in customer orders and pigeon availability ✅ Focus more on pigeons, not spreadsheets Whether it’s nurse scheduling, logistics, workforce management, or even pigeon breeding, Timefold proves that optimization can transform efficiency in any industry. 👉 Watch the full episode to learn how PIPA uses Timefold to revolutionize pigeon breeding—and why planning problems are everywhere around us. Optimization made easy. https://timefold.ai 📌Timestamps: 00:00 - From nurses to pigeons (intro) 00:51 - What is PIPA (Pigeon Paradise)? 01:45 - Record price: €1.6M for a pigeon 02:37 - Why IT matters in pigeon breeding 03:38 - Why pigeon breeding needs optimization 04:16 - Breeding systems: natural, foster & stallion 07:18 - Why Excel fails for planning 08:35 - How Timefold automates pigeon breeding 10:28 - Working with OptaZen & Simon Tiffert
